Pakistan slams 'one-sided' remarks by British diplomat

ISLAMABAD, May 2: The Foreign Office (FO) on Saturday said slammed a social media post by British Special Representative for Afghanistan Richard Lindsay regarding developments along the Pak-Afghan border, saying that the remarks were "devoid of a deeper understanding of the situation".
Early on Friday, Lindsay had shared a post by the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) on the social media platform X, which said it had documented "tens of civilians killed or injured" in strikes in eastern Afghanistan, including a university.
"Concerned by further violence along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, including strikes in Kunar. All steps must be taken to protect civilians and avoid further escalation. I continue to urge dialogue and restraint, including in meetings in Afghanistan this week," Lindsay said.    �"DAWN
